Could go I suppose. They had them in Lidls the other day funny enough Rorschach (no idea on quality).
Not sure you'd get the weight behind it?
Thing I liked about the grinder was it's so fast and the discs are graded but aggressive if the floor needs a lot of work. I wouldn't have fancied doing mine with my ros even at 40 grit although I used it at the corners. It needed a lot of cutting back. I spent a few years cutting a lot of stone/paving etc so am comfortable on a grinder. It's capable of a light touch. I can understand people can be wary of them but with no cutting disc there's not a lot to go wrong.
The only real downside for me (discounting knees :-({|= ) is the dust. Without even rudimentary collection it's time for a
proper mask, goggles and tape all doors up. Escape through window if you're on the ground floor save polluting the house and set up an 'airlock' round the door with sheets. I'd consider renting an industrial fan when I do the next room. Even the upright one with bag collection caused a lot of dust.
Ros with really decent collection gets round most of that even better if you can stick your collection outside I s'pose.
Just as an example for OP not a guide or how to. I'm just a bodger.
The original floor, oak boards in need of some repairs and TLC. Old varnish and 15 years of neglect by the last owners to what was a good quality floor. (Idiots. Bear with me here... for the want of replacing an end stop to the gutter at step height, not the roof, they sat and watched as half the render at the back of the house blew. It costs a pound and you stand on a chair and click it into place!) Different strokes I suppose and we couldn't have afforded to buy it if they'd looked after it so small blessings.
)
No excuses but the bad floors looked worse and the good floors looked better than these photos show. Honest.
Repaired, plugged and stripped.
I'd have gone with Osmo Nudey (Raw) here. Because look at it. I'm an interior decorating trail blazer after all.
No she says I want it shiny.
Like the last one I say?
She looks at me.
We compromise and buy Osmo Original. Not too shiny for me not too nudey for her.
Job well done I think.
Alright love? I say. Happy?
Hmmm she says. I think maybe I was right and we should have gone nudey, your one's a bit shiny isn't it.
Ah. I say. Hmmm. Could be.
I ponder the fastest response time from the local police station. No joy there the work van is limited to 70.
Later that day she comes back from Ikea with a big rug. I'm not even kidding here mind. That's a nice rug I say. How wide is it I ask?
Ohhh I dunno she says. About 2 metre square.
And how tall are you do you think I say. I'm about 1.55 she says.
Why do you ask?!?
No reason I say. No reason.
By the way love, I say, have you seen my spade lately ???
